“…Come…Come…come” (Rev 22:17). When I found my usual barber shop closed, I crossed the street to a “salon,” and was served by a woman who told me her name was Delilah! “The Bible says some interesting things about you,” I replied. “Yes, I guess I was fated to cut hair.” “There are many interesting things in the Bible,” I ventured. “Like what?” “Like, ‘Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners’.” “Are you a believer?” she queried. “Yes, are you?” “For just a few months,” she replied. She had been a hairdresser to the stars in Hollywood but her sinful life had inflamed her conscience so she took a few weeks off and read the Bible all the way through. Just before the last chapter, she thought, I’ve almost read through the whole Bible and nothing has happened. Maybe I’m too bad; maybe God doesn’t want me. “But then,” she said with a big smile, “I read the last chapter, and Jesus said, ‘Come!’ so I came!” How good that He said it again, and again, and again.—J.B.N.
